Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 8,000 described species in about 250 genera. The genus Dolichopus is the most speciose, with some 600 species.
Argentinia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Ceratopos is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Algeria and Portugal. It contains only one species, Ceratopos seguyi. It is closely related to Syntormon, and is considered a junior synonym of it according to Evenhuis & Bickel (2022).
Coeloglutus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Bolivia, Panama and Peru, and contains only one species, Coeloglutus concavus.
Neotonnoiria is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica and Peru, and contains only one species, Neotonnoiria maculipennis. The genus was originally named Tonnoiria by Octave Parent in 1929; however, this was preoccupied by TonnoiriaMalloch, 1929, so it was renamed to Neotonnoiria by Harold E. Robinson (1970).
Notobothrus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Notobothrus longilamellatus, which is known from the lowland Amazonian Peru and northwestern Brazilian Acre State. It was formerly placed in the subfamily Neurigoninae, but was moved to Peloropeodinae by Naglis in 2002. In 2020, the genus was excluded from the Peloropeodinae and provisionally left incertae sedis within Dolichopodidae.
Physopyga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae found in mangroves in Papua New Guinea. It contains a single species, Physopyga miranda.
Scepastopyga is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. There is only one described species, Scepastopyga semiflava, which was described from Papua New Guinea by Patrick Grootaert and Henk J. G. Meuffels in 1997. An unidentified species of Scepastopyga was reported from Singapore in 2002, which is thought to show that the genus may be distributed across the Malesian Archipegalo. The fly is small, with a body length of about 2 mm, and is coloured yellow or brown without a metallic gloss.
Urodolichus is a genus of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Afrotropical realm, Indomalayan realm and Australasian realm. It has been placed in either Rhaphiinae or Diaphorinae, though Grichanov & Brooks (2017) consider the genus to be incertae sedis within the family Dolichopodidae.
Hydrophorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Several molecular phylogenetic analyses of the family have found evidence that the subfamily in its current sense is polyphyletic.
Achalcinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is an ancestral group close to Medeterinae and Sciapodinae.
Neurigoninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Parahercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes four species known only from China. Members of the genus are metallic green in color and large in size, with a body length of 4.5–5.3 mm and a wing length of 5.2–7.0 mm. The generic name is a combination of the prefix para- with the generic name Hercostomus. According to Brooks (2005)'s phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Dolichopodinae, Parahercostomus appears to be closely related to Grichanov (1999)'s Afrotropical species group 1 in the genus Hercostomus, which was later transferred to the genus Afrohercostomus.
Sympycninae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. In some classifications, this subfamily includes the genera of the subfamilies Peloropeodinae and Xanthochlorinae.
Rhaphiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Paracoeloglutus is a genus of flies from Chile in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, Paracoeloglutus chilensis. The generic name is a combination of the Greek word 'para' and Coeloglutus, a closely related genus. The specific name is derived from Chile, the country where P. chilensis was collected.
Dactylomyia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.
Systenoides is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from Paraguay, and contains only one species, Systenoides paraguayensis. The generic name refers to the similarity with the genus Systenus. The specific name is derived from Paraguay, the country where S. paraguayensis was collected.
Viridigona is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It consists of 28 species which are distributed in the Neotropics, with the exception of V. viridis which is known from the eastern United States. The generic name is a combination of the Latin word viridis and the ending of 'Neurigona', from which Viridigona is distinguished by its metallic green thorax and abdomen.
